Sorry, no pictures. We are getting a ton of rain today (Friday). So far we are at 4.5 5 inches for today, another half inch 1 inch higher than it was 1 hour ago. I’ll post some updates as necessary. 5:48 p.m. Flash flood watch until 8pm. Also, if you look at the radar, there’s…

Butterfly and Wildlife Gardening And Photography In Houston Texas
Category Archives: Personal Thoughts And QuestionsThis is just a heartbreaking video to watch. I don’t know how these photographers were able to even take pictures of this without doing anything. Perhaps (I hope) they did after they shot the video. Just think, these are just two birds, imagine how many others are being affected by this oil disaster. I really… Reading this story from MSNBC just makes me sick. If you don’t want to read the full article, just consider this brief tidbit, “Hundreds of birds nest on the island, and an Associated Press photographer saw that at least some birds and their eggs were stained with the ooze. Nests were perched in mangroves directly…  Okay, before I get to the story, let me assure you that this is 100% true and not exaggerated. We decided to let Delilah out to play, hoping that she is almost over her respiratory infection (she goes back to the vet on Friday). Surprisingly, our other cat Chloe decided it was time to quit… Another day, another rescue. I’m hopeful this will be short term and not a big deal. Leecy took Delilah to the vet today just to make sure everything is okay. Now before I tell you the results, I did suspect that something was slightly amiss with the kitty. As it turns out, Delilah has a…  However, it appears to be pretty localized at this point in time. Pet owners were beginning to report peculiar symptoms the day before and appear to be getting worse. What originally begins as typical scratching post behavior explodes into using the human form as a scratching post and climbing tree. Less reliable news sources suggest… I’ll start right off in saying that I didn’t get one stupid picture. Despite no pictures, I have some good news to share. Six out of the seven Mexican Monarchs hatched today. We had 4 Males and 2 Females. As soon as I opened the enclosure they flew away. So all you folks in the…  I realize this post may be a little opinionated, but just take it for what it is. Here’s the story. I go to the mall today (I won’t say which one) and there’s a “pet store” in this mall. Rarely, if ever, have I been to a “pet store” in any mall and had any… Finally! I’m taking a week off from work. Tomorrow morning I plan on heading out to Brazos Bend State Park. A day or two after that I plan on revisiting Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge. I’ll also probably visit the Houston Arboretum, but after that I am undecided. I’d like to try a couple of new… I’m still pretty sad about Madison not being around anymore. Maybe this is typical in any death. When I go upstairs I still expect to see Madison give me a meow greeting I think Chloe is curious to where that other cat went to hide. I mainly get teary these last few days when I…  Today was a very sad day for me as I had to put my 15 year old cat, Madison, down to sleep. For the last week or so, Madison hadn’t really eaten that much, nor had she really used the litter box. She would still purr when I would hold her, but I could tell… For those who don’t know or who are not living in the Houston area, we are having the coldest weather we’ve had in over 10 years. We’ve been having temperatures in the low 20′s which has just been devastating for many plants. We covered most of our fruit plants and have been bringing the milkweed… Now this is exciting news! I posted a couple of weeks back on how Painted Lady and Monarch Butterfly Caterpillars were sent aboard the space shuttle. The Painted Lady Butterflies hatched from their Chrysalises a couple of weeks ago, and now it’s been reported that a Monarch emerged from its Chrysalises as well. According to… I’m taking some vacation time this week (Thanksgiving Week). Of course, I’m not actually going anywhere, but I do plan on taking some field trips so I can take lots of pictures. One place that I am definitely going to visit is Brazos Bend State Park. It will take me close to two hours to… You walk out to your car after a long day at work and notice something seems a little odd about your drivers side bumper, panel, and headlight. Then for a brief second you think it’s just a trick of the evening sun. Well, it was no trick. Someone smashed into my front bumper in the… |
